OK, just booked the above. 21,810 EQPs for $1,195. All first and biz class travel. Not bad, I think?
And then my BOI to HNL routing will push me across the finish line to 25,140 EQPs! All told, cost me $1,800 to earn these 25K EQPs for EXP and I get a free vacation to Hawaii and Panama City. Will spend 3.5 days in Panama and a week in Hawaii after returning from Panama before flying home.
And I'll earn 47K miles on this route. Since every 12,500 miles are worth/save me $300 on average, that's nearly $1,200 in value. So EFFECTIVELY, this only cost me about 600 bucks.
600 bucks for Executive Platinum status? I'll take it!
Here's my crazy 22,000 mile VERY direct to Panama, 52 flying hours route!
